you should get the audio set for hooked on phonics… BTW - there should be 2 wires going to your cd player with power. One of them is for the memory… which is constant, thats usually yellow. The red one, sometimes thicker, is for your 12v source. That should only get power with the key on. Then you should have a ground. That should be screwed into the frame that holds the head unit. ---

check all the fuses again, one by one. If its a aftermarket deck there will also be a fuse in line with its power chord or in the back of the deck. ---

If its a aftermarket deck there will also be a fuse in line with its power chord or in the back of the deck. yea check all the fuses. i had a similar problem once, and the radio fuse was fine. but one of the other ones went. replaced it, and my radio works. check the fuses. ---
